kind of the beat i guess, but i have never understood how so many 'dj's could get paid for playing other artists work? i do accept now, as opposed to the mid/late 90's way more 'dj's now produce music.
if i were running a night, i'd only look at P.A.'s or Ableton Sets - or the know 'dj's whom have built what they have to date.
high fee's will not get paid, clubs/promoters and alike will cancel nights - i would imagine that smaller venues (at reasonable prices) with artists whom produce will and want to expose the sound (so prob not 100% full time musicians) can take advantage?!
Those who survive by techno and alike.. must, like the rest of us in these times way up every option and be prepared to give, as well as take.
